I'm opposite - I have major issues with bloating (pre-pregnancy) so I'm already getting comments about how I look further along. I'd rather be in your shoes.

@mrsjyw: I'm short and have a short torso, so I was huge. Around 30 weeks, an employee at a grocery store told me they weren't equipped to deliver babies. I told her I still had 10 weeks to go. Her jaw dropped!

And some completely random lady at Starbucks told me she could tell I was having a girl because I had big hips & a big rear-end.

I gained 35 pounds total and most of the time I got comments on how small I was or how good I looked. It kinda annoyed me because it's not like I could really help what size I was. I dont think people really understand that you have little control over what your body decides to do!

Yeah, I heard tons of comments about my belly. My MIL and mom were the worst...they didn't think a small Asian girl had any business gaining 33lbs.

my mom is always telling me i'm too sensitive to it. but when I'm measuring 3 weeks behind and people are telling me that I'm starving her (?!), yeah I get a little upset! ugh.

esp when people who haven't ever been pregnant are like, 'don't worry about your weight, you have to eat for HER'...I'm not dieting or anything. I can't help that I'm STILL sick at 33.5 weeks, and when I do eat, there's barely any room! sigh.

I used to get comments all. the. time. From "You're huge! Are you having twins?" to "your so tiny!" ugh. It was so annoying. I finally started ignoring them, and only listened to my doctor. If he wasn't concerned, than neither was I.

Yeah, I'm the opposite. I'm constantly being told I look big! In fact, I get asked "Are you sure you're not having twins?" multiple times a day. I just smile and say "There's only one in there. I've had several ultrasounds already."

This is why the only thing I would ever say to someone pregnant is "You look beautiful"

I'm 5ft 11 and my belly barely showed. I got comments about being tiny all the time. People would ask me if I was sure about my due date..

@MrsBrewer: agree!

this is something that drives me nuts. everyone is a doctor now. Unless you are measuring behind (which they usually wont be able to tell till a bit further in your pregnancy) or your doc is concerned you are fine. for me i heard people say i was having twin and lo and behold my baby is measuring perfect. such a load of crap

I always heard I was "so small" but recently, I blew up....now they (every cashier in every store) say "when are you due?" I answer. Their response is always "Wow...but you look ready NOW."
To that I say "well lady, I AM...Baby is not." ....
